Google is many destinations. The ISP isn't a destination, aka a host[1]

...are a different problem at the application layer[2]. Yes, surveillance capitalism business models at Google et al is a serious problem that needs to be addressed. It's still a separate problem from ISP-level surveillance. It is unlikely that the same solution can be applied to both problems.
An ISP - aka a business that routes packets in the internetworking layer[3], is a very different market than the network endpoints ("destination", aka "host"). I can (and do) drop outgoing packets to many destinations.
